Fixing device and fixing bracket having same
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable electronic products lack a clamping and fixing mechanism, leading to issues such as damage from sliding or falling due to external vibrations, and reduced consumer interest due to delayed salesperson responses. Additionally, existing solutions fail to effectively secure devices of varying sizes while maintaining anti-theft performance.
Innovation Solution
A fixing device comprising a base body with a support surface, a limiting device with a movable limiting member, and a first control member that controls the limiting member's movement. The device is designed to securely fix portable devices of different sizes by adjusting the limiting member's position along the normal direction of the support surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If portable electronic products are displayed against the support plate without a fixing mechanism, then the display is simple and accessible, but the products are easily damaged by sliding or falling due to external vibration
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting member is designed to be automatically pushed by the portable device itself when the device is placed on the support plate. The device's own weight and positioning action activates the limiting mechanism, eliminating the need for separate manual operation while ensuring stable fixation
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting member is designed to be movable along the normal direction of the support plate, transitioning from a retracted state (when no device is present) to an engaged state (when a device is placed). This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt between accessibility and stability based on whether a device is being displayed
2Reliability
If a fixed clamping mechanism is used to secure portable devices, then anti-theft performance is improved, but devices of different sizes cannot be effectively fixed
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting member is designed to be movable along the normal direction of the support plate, allowing it to adjust its position dynamically. This enables the same mechanism to accommodate portable devices of different thicknesses and sizes while maintaining secure fixation and anti-theft performance
Solution Approach 2:
The position of the limiting member along the normal direction of the support plate can be adjusted to match different device parameters (thickness, size). This parameter adjustment allows a single fixing device to handle multiple device specifications effectively
3Ease of operation
If the control member is exposed and accessible, then operation is convenient, but the portable device can be easily removed by pulling the control member
Solution Approach 1:
The first control member is arranged inside the limiting device, which is positioned on the support plate. The portable device嵌套 (nested) around the control member, covering it when fixed. This nested arrangement allows operation during installation while preventing removal during display

AI summary
Provided are a fixing device and a fixing bracket having the same. The fixing device includes a base body, a limiting device, and a first control member. The base body has a support surface. The limiting device includes a limiting member arranged on a side of the support surface and movable along a normal direction of the support surface to fix a portable device to the support surface. The first control member is arranged on a side of the support surface and configured to control movement of the limiting member. When the portable device is fixed to the support surface, the portable device covers at least part of the first control member.
